Server Requirement Error: register_globals is disabled....

[barnes]

I'm installing osCommerce on my site. Not to be used on my server, but to set it up for a friends site.

They say that the error is in php.ini, or can be changed in the .htaccess file, but I see nothing in .htacess, and I can't edit php.ini obviously.

What is the problem?

here, in smokyhosts, php directive "register_globals" is disabled for security reasons. Because, this script was created not by you, i can not help you. There is some small code snippets to emulate "register_globals" on, but i dont know where you should insert that code
My suggestion: try to use other version of you software, where are not required to be "register_globals" to be on, or use other software
For more info consult software developers or server admin- SHadmin

Follow the below guidlines for working around it for script to script basis....

>>Create a .htaccess in the parent directory of your script
>>In it type

Code: Select all

php_flag register_globals on

Thats it!!
